    Harrogate charity Horticap's newly revamped nature trail, which is free to visit, will open on Monday.

    Horticap, which is based at Bluecoat Wood Nurseries, provides adults with learning and other disabilities training in horticulture, allied crafts and rural skills.

    A £5,000 donation enabled it to invest in in making its nature trail more accessible to all.

    Full of hidden nooks and places to explore, the new nature trail has been built with a focus on green energy and sustainability.

    It includes educational signs telling visitors about the local landscape and the animals living within it.

    The aim is to encourage people to look more closely at what is around them.

    The trail also has large, communal areas to allow people to just sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

    The charity has also just finished renovating its Hopkins cafe and shop.

    The charity was able to use money left by a previous student, Peter Hopkins, to renovate the cafe to bring in extra income and offer students work experience.
